    Another fractalius departure. I liked the lighting. Comments and critique welcomed. regards~Bill

    Beautiful composition, Bill. I like lighting here and the reflection on the water. Beautiful color and effect...

    Hi Bill, This almost looks like a painting done by an old master. The lighting and symetry between subject and reflection is nicely handled. The textures you pulled out of the image using various filters are very effective along with the detail. Finally, well handled compositionally!

    Beautiful image Bill! I really love the feather detail, color, and overall feel of this image. Wonderful!

    William,

    Beautiful light and a wonderful use of effects. I agree with Dave and Joe that it has an old master painter look to it. Well done.

    Appeciate the comments greatly. I too thought it had a slight resemblance to and old master like Rembrant in respect to lighting. Regards~Bill
